About this role

AfterQuery is seeking Cloud Engineer Experts to build and evaluate the cloud infrastructure and automation scenarios that frontier AI labs use to test model judgment. In this remote, asynchronous role you will design realistic engineering problems, review how models reason through them, and give detailed feedback that makes the resulting training data trustworthy.

Why Apply

  • Competitive Compensation: $115-$135/hour, paid weekly
  • Innovative Impact: Join a YC-backed research lab shaping how frontier models reason about software
  • Flexible Engagement: Fully remote and asynchronous, on your own schedule

Responsibilities

  • Design challenging, realistic cloud infrastructure and automation tasks drawn from production practice
  • Evaluate model responses for correctness, sound reasoning, and subtle failure modes
  • Document your reasoning clearly so another engineer can audit the judgement

Required Qualifications

  • 2+ years of professional cloud engineering experience on AWS, Azure, or GCP
  • Hands-on infrastructure-as-code experience with Terraform, CloudFormation, or similar
  • Depth in at least one of networking, containers, serverless, or cost optimization
